The questioner : What is your esteemed opinion on the collection of fatwas of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him)?
The Shaykh : Our view is that it is among the best of what has been written, because it is from a knowledgeable, juristic, and sincere scholar. I urge my brother the questioner, and others who are listening, to acquire the books of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), as well as those of his student Ibn al-Qayyim, for the good, blessing, and abundant knowledge contained in them, which you will not find in others, and for the strength of deriving rulings from the Book and the Sunnah. They are books like which have not been produced, as far as I know. So, O student of knowledge, you must have them.
